Title: Determining a nucleic acid sequence imbalance
Inventor: LO YUK-MING DENNIS
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2008-07-23
Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided for determining whether a nucleic acid sequence imbalance exists within a biological sample. One or more cutoff values for determining an imbalance of, for example, the ratio of the two sequences (or sets of sequences) are chosen. The cutoff value may be determined based at least in part on the percentage of fetal DNA in a sample, such as maternal plasma, containing a background of maternal nucleic acid sequences. The cutoff value may also be determined based on an average concentration of a sequence per reaction. In one aspect, the cutoff value is determined from a proportion of informative wells that are estimated to contain a particular nucleic acid sequence, where the proportion is determined based on the above-mentioned percentage and/or average concentration. The cutoff value may be determined using many different types of methods, such as sequential probability ratio testing (SPRT).

Title: Scrambling and modulation to constrain the constellation size of ack/nak transmission on the data channel
Inventor: MONTOJO JUAN
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2009-03-26
Abstract: Aspects describe maximizing a Euclidean distance for an ACK transmission as a function of the number of bits in a HARQ-ACK  and a modulation order. Encoding includes placing escape sequences in the HARQ-ACK, wherein the number of escape sequences is based on the number of bits and the modulation order. Multiple encoded ACK blocks are combined to obtain a vector sequence that is multiplexed with the encoded data and interleaved, such as on a "time-first" manner. Scrambling is performed as a function of the size and the modulation order. For a 1-bit ACK, the scrambling is performed to achieve any two corners in any constellation for transmission for the ACK. For a 2-bit ACK, the scrambling is performed to achieve any four corners in any constellation for transmission for the ACK.

Title: Multi-maser ablation therapy (mmat)
Inventor: SOMMERVILLE ANDREW I
IPC: A61N5/02
Filed: 2010-09-15
Abstract: The purpose of this entity is tissue destruction with the use of microwave frequency EM emission not requiring direct tissue penetration with a probe or pre-procedural surgical exposure.   Presently, the main method of biological tissue destruction has been performed with radiation therapy but this is done on a non-selective basis that causes significant damage to exposed tissue with ionizing radiation.     Microwaves cause tissue damage through tissue heating with the depth of penetration depending on the frequency (Microwave and RF product applications, John Michael Golio, CRC Press, 2003, page 16-4), distance from the source and the length of the exposure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_burn). The challenge then is to use microwaves to heat tissue at a certain location to the point of causing cellular death while avoiding similar damage to surrounding tissue(s).  Multiple narrow-beam microwave emissions in different locations all focused on a common target tissue area and pulsed sequentially could accomplish this.
